Curriculum

Middle Years is the Academy's middle school experience using a highly integrated curriculum blending language arts, humanities, and science. Herberger Middle Years students can move through accelerated content with the potential to enroll in high school level math and world language courses for high school credit.

More Information About Middle Years

The Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) engages students in a highly accelerated curriculum through the first year of their high school experience. At the IGCSE level, coursework expands upon topics from the middle years and introduces new and challenging content across the core areas of language arts, history, physical sciences, and chemistry. Students are evaluated through Cambridge International Assessments taken at the end of the year.

The A-Level program is a three-year program intended to prepare students for higher level learning at the post-secondary level. AS/A-Level courses from the Cambridge International Examinations curriculum are considered to be Pre-University level courses and are offered across four content areas (Language Arts, STEM, Humanities, and Global Perspectives). Students will choose some of their courses at this level based on individual interests and aspirations. Successful completion of A-Level courses and satisfactory scores on the A-Level examinations can earn college credit by examination and the internationally recognized Advanced International Certificate of Secondary Education (AICE) Diploma.

Also, during the A-Level years, opportunities outside Herberger Academy classrooms become available. Many students will take college level courses though Arizona State University. These courses can be taken for credit both online and in person. Students are highly encouraged to participate in a Herberger sponsored mentorship.
